shining trapezohedron

"in the center of the dust-laden floor rose a curiously angled stone pillar... on this pillar rested a metal box ... its interior holding ... an egg-shaped or irregularly spherical object... either a very remarkable crystal of some sort or an artificial object of carved and highly polished mineral matter ... this stone, once exposed, exerted upon blake an almost alarming fascination."

i: almandine-garnet trapezohedron.

strange jewelry

"so i spent part of that evening at the newburyport public library looking up data about innsmouth... the essex county historys on the library shelves had very little to say... the epidemic and riots of 1846 were very sparsley treated, as if they formed a discredit to the county...most interesting of all was a glancing reference to the strange jewelry vaguely associated with innsmouth."
